Kevin
Kristopik, 15, of Bloomfield Township, Michigan, hacked into the Facebook account
of one of Bieber's friends and got the pop star's phone number. He
texted him repeatedly and was asked to stop, according to Kristopik's
father in a Detroit Free Press article.

Bieber
responded by tweeting Kristopik's phone number. He deleted the tweet
after mere seconds, but with 4.5 million followers, thousands of people
blew up the teen's phone with calls and texts.

"He was angry with me," Kristopik said in the interview. He then clarified the scenario.

"I'm being portrayed as a huge hacker who sits in a dark room all day and doesn't do anything -- that's not true," he said.

"What
happened was that I found out who one of his friend's was and I Googled
him up a little bit and I found out his Facebook ... and I just hit
"Forgot Password" and all of his information was on Google, and it took
less than two minutes and I ended up getting on his Facebook and I got
his number from there."

When Smith brought up the fact that,
"some people were saying that you were electronically stalking him,"
Kristopik responded with what he thought was a rational answer.

"I got a celebrity's phone number anybody would have texted him at least a couple of times," he said.

"I
think I kind of regret everything that happened," he said. "I mean I
was at fault, but I also think that he took it a little too far too."
